I recently got a new ARM machine:
http://compulab.co.il/products/sbcs/sbc-a510/

This appears to have the same SoC as the Solidrun CuBox (which is, 
incidentally, far better value, if you don't absolutely need the ATX 
form factor, and a PCI/mini-PCIe slot).

The reason why I am even mentioning this is because the kernel that 
ships with the SBC-A510 is 2.6.32.9. That means that the support for 
this SoC is either in the mainline kernel at that age, or it should be 
realatively easy to generate the patch against 2.6.32 and port it to the 
upstream distro kernel.

What this means is that it is another SoC that can be supported by the 
"official" kernels - in case anyone actually cares about this.

In the near future, I'm going to be updating (to 2.6.32-220.17.1) and 
expanding (+armada) the range of official kernels, and hopefully also 
adding generation of a uimage package (uboot tools' mkimage seems to 
produce an unusable uimage when working from vmlinuz, but works fine 
when starting with zImage produced during the kernel build) to make 
users' lives a little easier when getting things to work.
